PAVEcast: "Can Autonomy Help to Ease Supply Chain Bottlenecks?"
Show Notes

In a global economy, goods travel across borders from manufacturer to market faster than ever before. While intermodal transportation has been key to the modern system of freight movement, the recent challenges with international supply chains have shown that gaps remain.

Automation, digitization, and data analytics are evolving to make shipping even more efficient by reducing transition times, enhancing safety, and incorporating AI into logistics planning. When looking at modern supply chain solutions, AV trucking may already have the built-in tools to easily integrate into a new, modern freight and intermodal transportation system.

In this PAVEcast episode,  guests Finch Fulton, Vice President of Policy and Strategy at Locomation; Dan Morgan, Chief Data Officer at U.S. DOT; and Selika Talbott, Adjunct Professor at University of Southern California & Founding Partner of Autonomous Vehicle Consulting, LLC, break down how AV trucking is well-positioned to uncork supply chain bottlenecks and usher in an era of efficiency for freight.

  • Finch Fulton – Vice President of Policy and Strategy, Locomation
  • Selika Talbott – Adjunct Professor, University of Southern California & Founding Partner of Autonomous Vehicle Consulting, LLC
